Working Land refers to two facets of rural landscape: the idea of working the land as a vocation and as a description of productive ground. My family tree includes immigrant ancestors who made a living from working the soil and some of their descendants who carry on this work to the present day. That personal connection to working land inspired the project.

Lida Farm, May 27, 2015: These bee hives share Peanut’s pasture, shaded at the edge of a wooded area. They belong to Dan the Bee Man, who produces honey in hives placed at several farms for the summer. In exchange for a summer home and lots of nectar, the bees pollinate anything with flowers, apples and squash being some of their favorites.
